Man: I'll sue you. I'll sue you both. I'm going to call my attorney right now. Samson and Son isn't it? Samson.
Fred: No. It's Samson and Delilah. I'm Samson. (edit) Fred: (while Fred and Lamont are trying to move the piano from the doorway) Listen, Lamont, I pushed it, pulled it, twisted it, and wiggled it. Now, what do you want me to do next? The Funky Chicken? (edit) Man: Uh Uh Uh!
Lamont: (to Fred) It's the chair.
Man: It's a Chippendale. Not for sitting.
Fred: You oughta get a Sears Roebuck, they're made for sitting. (edit) Man: With those heavy boots you wouldn't want to walk on an old Persian carpet, would you?
Fred: Listen, with these heavy boots I'd walk on an old Persian. (edit) Man: (as he gives Fred his slippers) Sorry these are the only shoes I have in your size.
Fred Who wore these last? The thief of Baghdad? (edit)

At one point, Fred tells the man that he was in the infantry during WWII. Later, he tells the man he was in the paratroops. The man says "Paratroopers? I thought you were in the infantry!"
Airborne paratroopers are actually part of the infantry. Fred doesn't know this either, and mumbles something about the seeming contradiction. (edit) Just before the 15:00 mark, when Fred is holding the cigarette, you can see a boom microphone shadow over him and part of the background (edit)
